Liverpool could go head-to-head with Manchester United in the race to sign Atalanta midfielder Ederson this summer, according to Caught Offside.
The Red Devils considered a move for the Brazil international last summer, but Atalanta were reluctant to sell him before the transfer deadline.
This has not ended the speculation regarding Ederson’s future. It is claimed that the 25-year-old could pursue a bigger challenge when the season ends.
United are likely to return for the versatile midfielder, considering they are expected to offload Christian Eriksen and Casemiro later this year.
However, they could face fierce competition from the Reds, who are aiming to provide more quality and depth in the heart of the midfield.
The Merseyside giants have relied on Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister in the centre of the park and they have barely been rested.
Manager Arne Slot may want another marquee midfielder to rotate his options. Ederson could be available for around €60 million.
